WHY WE LISTEN TO COASTAL NATIONS
What is the Strategic Plan?
Our Strategic Plan was shaped by you — coastal First Nations representatives, technical experts, and community members who shared their priorities through surveys, planning sessions, and the Rising Tides Rising Strength conference.
This five-year roadmap (2025-2030) guides our collective action to:
-
Protect coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them
-
Share knowledge and build capacity across participating Nations
-
Advocate for Indigenous-led climate solutions
-
Secure sustainable funding for local climate action
-
Honor traditional knowledge and stewardship responsibilities for future generations
Together, we're building climate-resilient communities by amplifying coastal voices and championing solutions rooted in both Indigenous knowledge and contemporary science.

A JOURNEY TOWARDS CLIMATE RESILIENCE
Northern Region Climate Adaptation Planning
Join us for the first meeting of our Northern Region Climate Adaptation Planning process.
Date: March 11, 2026
Location: The Crest Hotel, Prince Rupert
Format: In-person
This collaborative planning process brings together northern coastal First Nations to develop region-specific climate adaptation strategies. Drawing on proven approaches like Old Massett Village Council's Climate Adaptation Plan, we'll work together to:
-
Identify climate risks and vulnerabilities specific to northern communities
-
Share knowledge and traditional expertise
-
Develop adaptation strategies that protect our lands, waters, and future generations
-
Build capacity across participating Nations
Why attend? Climate change impacts each territory differently. By coming together, we amplify our voices, share resources, and strengthen our collective resilience.
CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTS EVERYONE
